VILLAGERS

The Irish indie folk band Villagers, fronted by Conor O’Brien, have been compared to Bright Eyes and even U2: with O’Brien’s carefully crafted indie-folk being underpinned by an eerie sense of disquiet. “Darling Arithmetic” is the third album from Villagers, released on 13 April 2015. The follow-up to the debut, “Becoming a Jackal”, and its successor, “Awayland" - both hugely acclaimed and Mercury-nominated - is a breathtakingly beautiful, intimate album entirely about love and relationships. Join us for a cosy set with admired Irish band Villagers on 9 May at the Rockhal.
